Updating Courses Step in Application form

In order to get to courses click Settings on the lower left part and then select application form.




Once you are on the application form area - select the Courses step, where you can review and customise your settings.





Restricting student course selection by entry requirement means that if they don't meet the entry requirements you have specified, the student won't be allowed to choose that particular course.

Many schools still want to see what students are interested in studying, and opt instead to restrict their enrolment by teachers. This means students can express an interest in any course, but staff involved in the enrolment process can only enrol them into courses for which they qualify. 

You can limit the number of choices an applicant is able to make; either by the number of subjects or by the number of learning hours. You would make use of the Learning Hours options if you offer courses which are worth double or triple a single A Level or equivalent. 

You can choose which other settings to have in place; do you need to cap the number of places on a course at the application stage? Do you want applicants to see the capacity for each of their chosen courses on results day? 

If you want to import the predicted and/or achieved results for your internal applicants, you can do so via the imports area of the platform. Here, you can choose to prevent the internal applicants from editing the grades you add in on their behalf, so they can't make any cheeky changes!

You can also ask applicants to rank their subjects in order of preference when applying, and can also enable them to see the learning hours for each course - this is completely up to you.

If you are using the Learning Hours settings described above, you would need to have "display learning hours" active. 

Prevent Subject Clashing and Activate Option Block View are two settings which go hand in hand; generally they are either both on, or both off.

If you have given your subjects and classes different names, use the "use class title for class name display" option to toggle between the two, and decide which view you'd prefer the students to see. 

Enable Offer Courses Listing would allow you to use the offer courses list on a student's profile, to generate a list of courses you wish to make them an offer to study. The offer list is often used in conjunction with the meetings area of the platform and allows you and students to differentiate between application choices & offered subjects.

The 'Subject Selection Rule' allows you to define the number of subjects that an applicant can select from a specific list that you have made, or enforce a specific choice (for example, if you need them all to select "Supervised Study", you can define that in this list). 

Prepare your list by putting a tick on the subjects you need under the ‘Available Subjects’ column  and then click Arrow Right. The subjects will now have moved to the right column labelled ’Students must choose from this list:’ . After that, indicate the number of subjects that the students must choose from your list then click "Save".

This area enables students to choose reserve subject(s), and you can set a minimum and maximum number of reserved subjects as needed.





Students select their main choices first and once those are selected, a pop-up will then appear to prompt them to select their reserve choice(s) if these settings are active.
